Containerization has accelerated testing cycles and consistently reduced time to market
Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is a very mature product, and I don't think there is a lot of improvement that they need to do on their end. The Docker team is coming up with new features, and integration with the IDE, for example, would be amazing. Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine. I chose nine out of ten for Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because I think they could improve a little more on optimization. It sometimes demands a lot of RAM and computing power, so that is one area that the Docker team could improve upon.

What I dislike about Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages mainly pertains to the command prompt. Everything is written in the command line, so if it were more graphical, where I could use a mouse pointer or an AI system to update and be more automated and user-friendly, it would be better. There would be no need to memorize any command. For example, if I want to delete something, I should be able to use the mouse pointer, go to the specific folder, and right-click to delete. If Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages added this type of user-friendly graphical interface, it would be more usable and faster for everybody without needing to be a super expert.
